## Description

[Skype URIs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/skype-sdk/skypeuris/skypeuris) provide
the ability to insert links into your website which will launch the Skype app when
clicked.

But the Skype protocol is not whitelisted in WordPress, and URL beginning by **skype**
is stripped by WordPress.

This plugin is adding the **skype** protocol to the whitelist. It’s based on the
code provided by [Chris from sevenspark.com](https://sevenspark.com/tutorials/skype-uri-link-wordpress-menu)

Thank you very much Chris!
